Listed Artist C. Burnett oil painting on canvas, Paris street view Framed Signed

This atmospheric original oil painting by Caroline Burnett captures a lively Parisian street scene under a soft, overcast sky. Executed in an Impressionist manner, the composition draws the viewer down a broad boulevard toward a monumental classical building, animated by strolling figures, shopfronts, and glistening wet pavement. Loose, confident brushstrokes convey motion and mood rather than strict detail, evoking the rhythm of everyday life in Paris.

Burnett’s palette of muted grays, warm ochres, and cool blues creates depth and perspective, while the figures are rendered with expressive simplicity, characteristic of turn-of-the-century Impressionist street painting. The interplay of light and shadow suggests recent rain, adding a reflective quality to the street and enhancing the painting’s sense of atmosphere and season.
